In this episode, she first meets Ash after fishing him out of the water when he was trying to get away from Spearow. [[Ash]] then takes Misty's bike from her in order to escape the [[Spearow]], which is then wrecked by [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu's]] [[ThunderShock]].

She is also the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]].

+

==Personality==

+

Misty has a slight inferiority complex, mostly due to her three older sisters [[Daisy]] (oldest), [[Violet]] (second-from-oldest) and [[Lily]] (third-from-oldest), who formed the group, "The Three Sensational Sisters" (their synchronized swimming group), and refer to Misty as the "runt"or "weaker one". This complex diminishes over time as Misty grows closer to Daisy. Until Misty resumed her duties as the Cerulean City Gym Leader, her sisters were the ones who directly ran the gym, although when Ash came along to get his [[Gym Badges#Cascade Badge|Cascade Badge]], it was Misty who battled him for it, explicitly referring to herself as being one of the gym leaders during this instance.

+

+

Despite being the youngest of four sisters, Misty's the smartest and also the most mature and responsible of her sisters, with Violet being the next smartest and next most mature and responsible. Even if Misty's sisters can be kind of mean to her, they really ''do'' care about her, they just aren't very good at showing it sometimes.

+

+

Misty specializes mainly in {{type|Water}}-type Pokémon, which are her favorite type, but she's had other types, and she also deeply admires [[Lorelei]], an {{type|Ice}}-type Pokémon trainer. Misty aims to become a world-class trainer, and her well-trained Pokémon reflect her aspirations of becoming so. Her least favorite type of Pokemon are {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon, as she has a deep-rooted fear of them. However, Misty's fear lessens over the course of the series, but not to the point where she's totally gotten over it, as shown in ''[[AG134: A Real Cleffa Hanger|A Real Cleffa Hanger]]''.

+

+

As the series continues, she gradually shows herself to be kind and sensible. She restrains [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] from girls, often pulling him away by the ear.

She is the Cerulean CityGym Leader.

Misty has a slight inferiority complex, mostly due to her three older sisters Daisy (oldest), Violet (second-from-oldest) and Lily (third-from-oldest), who formed the group, "The Three Sensational Sisters" (their synchronized swimming group), and refer to Misty as the "runt"or "weaker one".

Iris and Bonnie were shocked directly by Pikachu while Serena wasn't shocked at all.

In the anime, Misty possesses a fear of most Bug-types (except for the kinds she deems as "cute" or pretty, such as Beautifly, Ash's Butterfree, Ash's Heracross and Ledyba).

She also has a fear on Gyarados after crawling into its mouth as a baby, despite it being part Water-type. She overcame this fear and she had a Gyarados of her own that knows the Fire-type move Flamethrower.

Misty was the one who originated the gag of pulling Brock away from pretty women by the ear every time he flirted with a pretty woman. This gag transferred to Max in Hoenn and then Brock's Croagunk in Sinnoh (though Croagunk used Poison Jab instead of pulling Brock's ear).
